Help! hello all I am new to this forum. I look forward to using it and gaining wisdom and knowledge from all that are on it. I recently inherited a 1941 series 61 Cadillac as well as a 1959 Eldorado. They have both been in a garage since 1978. Over the summer I had rebuilt the engine in the 1941 placed a new suspension in it and fuel system.

Last week I placed the car on the road the first time and had it out for 36 miles. 36 miles was all I got on the car... A young teenager pulled out in front of me I had to slam the brakes on and swerved to miss him. I lost control of the car, went into a dirt embankment, damaged the front passenger side bumper and fender, spun around 180 degrees and ripped the fuel tank out. All easily fixable. After having the car towed back to my shop I looked underneath and realized the passenger side control arm was badly bent. I live about a half hour from Kanter and they do not make a replacement.
I need some help on sourcing a new one or used control arm. I currently found one on eBay from a Buick but I'm not sure if this is interchangeable.

Any help is appreciated!

 

I would search the Cadillac and LaSalle Club I'm sure they can answer any questions. Good Luck
